Jean Todt the FIA President has officially lost it. He is all set to start a racing series for electric cars. Yeah right! Why doesn’t he just ask the drivers to push the cars instead? And here is the really funny bit, the race is supposed to last for 4 hours, isn’t that just hilarious. A purely battery powered car can’t even drive around for 4 hours at decent speeds let alone RACE!!
For once I stand by Bernie Ecclestone who has criticised Todt for trying to initiate a fiasco.
Motorsport is sacred and should not be disgraced and humiliated with something as irritating as a battery powered car. The whole point of motorsport is evolution of the automobile, it’s all about making it cleaner, faster and more reliable as I have mentioned in an earlier story of mine. Battery powered cars have no future. Therefore they do not deserve to stand on the pedestal of motorsport. I mean the first battery powered car was invented somewhere between 1832 and 1839 and in nearly 200 years if you mean to say that the human race could not invent a half decent battery powered car but managed to land space crafts on different planets, then you would look like a clown. Battery powered cars never have and never will work. So stop wasting the planet’s resources for nothing.
I believe hydrogen is the fuel of the future and it would benefit the human race if people invested in the infrastructure to store hydrogen and make it available in petrol stations. I would even go out and say that a hydrogen car motorsport would be nice, in the name of a cleaner planet and the human race.
Save the good stuff for us petrolheads.
